    Putting on a show

    In the final episode of the first series of What's the Score?, we talk to the cast and production team behind Shostakovich's Fifth by Heart, Aurora's 2025 summer project. Hear from musicians Greta and Dom - how do they learn all those notes? - and Polly Frame and Max Revell, two actors involved in this year's production. Plus, two of Aurora's production team give us the low down on the things that have gone very wrong (and very right) over the years.

    In Episode 2 of What's the Score?, we dive deep into the music of Shostakovich 5 with Aurora Principal Conductor Nicholas Collon and musicologist Marina Frolova-Walker. Why are different recordings of Shostakovich 5 at drastically different tempi? What are the different interpretations of the symphony? Nick and Marina answer these questions and more.

    Orchestral Theatre

    Welcome to What's the Score?, a brand new podcast from Aurora Orchestra. As Aurora prepares for their 2025 summer Orchestral Theatre production of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, we take a deep-dive into what goes into creating an Orchestral Theatre performance. In this episode, we hear from Aurora's Creative Director Jane Mitchell about how Aurora's memorised performances first came about, the process of writing a script for Aurora's Orchestral Theatre shows and what to expect from this summer's production. A huge thanks to the BBC Philharmonic and BBC Radio 3 for their recording of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, conducted by Nicholas Collon.
